Re: 2013 Boone Logan performance thread

There is not enough of a differential in Logan's lefty/righty splits to indicate he should be used as a left-handed specialist. I'm not sure how many more times it needs to blow up in Girardi's face for him to figure this out.

What? There is a big difference. 2. He kind of stinks vs lefties. There isn't enough PERFORMANCE in his past history to indicate any position of privilege like he has enjoyed in a bullpen. Outside of 2010 he is a middle middle reliever.

OBP vs. righties over the last three years is .360. Versus lefties during that same span is .303. That's not an eye-popping differential. A traditional LOOGY should be holding lefties to a sub-.250 OBP. I agree with your overall point that he's not very good period.

Again, WHAT? A 60 point split in OBP is the definition of a specialist.

.360 vs .300???? Thats a loogy! (a bad one) . Boone Logan should only be used vs left handed batters, and only in non-dire situations.
